Optimism in the Age of Global War

“Not Only Possible, But Also Necessary: Optimism in the Age of Global War”

I contribute to the exhibitions with a series of blur photographs I call Bored-er (2005). It will be shown at the Tershane Parallel Exhibition curated by Devrim Kadirbeyoglu. I made up the word “bored-er” by combining “bored” and “border”. Like most of you, I am sick of the visa controls, security checks, and all that constructed paranoia at the physically distinct but politically blurry borders between nations.
